5 Coastguards Cottages, Cuckmere Haven

Alison — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 20:51:50 +0000

This Autumn I have run painting days at this wonderful location. The house alone would be subject enough, without the stunning scenery all around.

Painters have found sheltered spots around the garden or even down on the beach. The conservatory offers comfortable and cosy indoor painting with the same views.

Lucy and Robb provided delicious lunches and refreshments.

Sarah booked to stay a night in the studio, overlooking the sea and facing the sunrise. When she arrived and where she would be sleeping, she instantly decided to stay an extra night.

Here are a selection of the paintings produced in Alderney this Summer. Some people painted for five days, others joined us for a couple of sessions. Some were experienced painters, some beginners

August/September 2010 painting holiday

Just back from our first watercolour holiday in Alderney. The weather was constantly beautiful, which meant no indoor painting at all, and lots of swimming breaks.

Oyster Project Watercolour Group

The Oyster Project is a disabled persons’ self-help charity based in Lewes, East Sussex (registration no. 1132007). For more information about the Oyster Project, see their website: www.oysterproject.org.uk

I run a monthly watercolour workshop for members of the Oyster Project at Greyfriars Court in Lewes, plus some additional outdoor painting events.

Our watercolour group has seen people who were beginners producing really competant and exciting work, as well as enjoying a relaxing day socialising.

Here are some examples of their work:

The River Ouse, by John

Birling Gap, by Jim

Rabbits, by Philippa

Painting in Alderney

Alison — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 05:57:02 +0000

On a clear but chilly day in March this year Moira had a watercolour lesson while we planned the holiday at Farm Court. She is looking at Fort Raz, connected to the shore by a causeway that is cut off at high tide. It was built in the 19th Century as part of a massive fortification programme in which Alderney was seen as a vital part of Britain’s defence against Napoleon.

On such a small island, there is always somewhere sheltered from the wind to paint – in this case nestled in the lee of wartime bunkers and gorse bushes.
